The library can be installed independently, found on my Github page, but the script will need to be altered, to fit the new location of the library, and to suit changes in the grabber interface between 0.24 and 0.26.

I don't remember seeing it (I also searched the wiki), but I can see lots of people being unaware and using that provided key.  Should we be editing 'pytmdb3.py' to update it , or is there another "mythtv" way.  It's my ignorance, but I don't understand from the README if there's a proper command line way.

The library has its own internal key to use for testing, but that key only exists in the test shell.  if you are using the library directly, you must supply a key.  The MythTV project has a separate key that is stored in the grabber script.  Users are allowed to use MythTV's key when running MythTV, so there's nothing users have to fiddle with.
